Whether you’re board-ready or cheering from shore, Witches on the Lake on Saturday, October 18th at Lake Natoma makes it easy to help Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance support local families.
1) Pick your role
A) Paddle Witch
- Gear: SUP/kayak/canoe, USCG-approved life jacket, leash if applicable, and a costume you can move in.
- Reg: Sign up online, complete waiver, set fundraising goal.
- Launch: Follow the marked route; safety boat volunteers will guide you.
B) Shore Sorcerer
- Stake out a viewing spot, bring signs, and donate on-site or via QR codes along the promenade.
- Not camera-shy? Volunteer to snap photos for our community gallery.
C) Sponsor/Team Captain
- Rally co-workers or friends; create a team page with a shared goal (e.g., “$1,000 for Keaton’s”).
- Offer a matching gift hour during the launch to double donations.
2) Fundraising in 5 minutes
- Tell a one-sentence story: “I’m paddling for Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance to help local kids and families.”
- Post a selfie in your hat with your donation link.
- Give a number: “$25 helps… $50 funds… $100 covers…” (use Keaton’s impact copy if provided).
- Thank publicly, track privately. Shoutouts spark momentum.
3) Costume + safety cheat sheet
- Secure everything. Wind happens; bobby pins and clips are your besties.
- Avoid trailing fabrics near feet/ankles and keep arms free to paddle.
- Hydrate and stash a small snack; excitement burns calories.
- Weather flex: Layers you can peel off without untying half your outfit.
Every dollar raised keeps Keaton’s wraparound services strong for families facing childhood cancer. Your hat is cute; your impact is powerful.
